Before anyone else posts here with their crazy ideas about why Xbox exists, please watch these video(s)

I will not watch your video!

During his Pre-Birth Years Bill Gates came up with an idea of a crazy machine that let people control a person on a tv screen, and do things that you could never dream of. Sadly after being born he forgot all about this machine and instead felt like being smart and helpful to the world. But one day when he was visting Sony's headquarters a rouge PSX hit him in the head, when he awoke the idea of the machine came back to him. From that day on he swore he would make that machine and that machine would crush Sony for giving him a headache!

Oh Leo...... It's not a fact, it's just the oldest and most widely circulated rumour.


sony was becoming big, as in apple size big with ps1/ps2

Minus the shit ton of cash.

The Playstation was making money, but not Apple money.

Hence, big = money.

Interestingly, the article has no source or citations either.

And why were you in such a rush to post this? It's over two years old, and no more accurate or true now than in June 2008.
